A2 media Music video and practice activity and evaluation

Evaluation

Planning

For our planning, my group and I drew up a rough storyboard of what our video would be about. And the different locations that we would use. We decided that because we were doing the Song frozen, we had to pick an outside type of environment and in this case it meant going to the field. However we did not spend that much time planning the details of what will be happening in each shot which wasn't a good idea because music videos need to be planned so that they are very precise. This is something that we will change and work on in our course work piece.

Group  work

In the group work side of things we all worked equally and all contributed our ideas equally which is good because it means that everyone is doing something and every one has a fair chance to give their ideas.

Technical skills: Ideas and directing

In our group we didn't really have a director as such because there wasn't much directing to do in our video as the actress is just lip syncing the song as she walks. However this meant that no one was in charge of anyone else and everyone contributed equally. However to improve on in this  aspect of the filming. Our course work piece will have a director, this would give our video more order and we will all contribute our ideas equally to make it fair and a group piece.

Technical skills: Camera and editing 

When it comes to our camera and editing, we had a mid shot in the beginning of the video and the camera slowly followed her as she sang the song. However most of the clip is the same shot which is a disadvantage because it doesn't give us much variety in camera angles. This also meant that our editing process was really fast as we did not have much footage to edit. This will also be an element that we will be working on in our Course work piece.
